This is an opportunity to do career-defining work. We're all in on this mission. If you are too, let's talk.
As a Developer Advocate, your job will be to empower developers to better secure their applications with Auth0.

You’re a great match if you have the rare combination of empathy, technical savvy, and the ability to influence for impact.
Auth0 secures more than 100 million logins each day for customers worldwide—and we're growing fast! To help drive this growth, our mission is to become the customer identity and access management (CIAM) provider of choice for developers building small and large applications. To advance this mission, Developer Relations engages with developer communities to help them adopt Auth0 and advocate on their behalf across Okta.

Your role will involve inspiring, educating, and empowering developers to better secure their applications using Auth0. You will work closely with developers at startups helping them understand and implement best practices in identity, access management, and cybersecurity. The specific ways you engage will depend on your unique skill set, but your responsibilities will include:
- Public speaking: Represent Auth0 at industry events, conferences, and webinars, engaging the developer community and showcasing our expertise.
